I guess the drugstore must have sold him Chinese patent medicine, so I asked him to take pictures of the medicine he bought, and sure enough.
I told him that the two most expensive Chinese patent medicines for clearing away heat and toxic materials were useless. Pi Yanping, who is only ten yuan each, is barely useful, but not necessarily symptomatic.
I asked him to film the rash and tell him it wasn't measles. It occurred to him that it might have been bitten by a bug.
I told him that after being bitten by a bug, he must go to the hospital for a blood test in time, and the doctor will prescribe medicine for special treatment. Don't go to the pharmacy to get medicine at will, because most pharmacies don't have professional doctors, and some are just salespeople who are actually selling goods.
If he realizes something,
I knew that he was from Guangdong, so I told him: Don't eat these Chinese patent medicines, including the herbal tea you often drink, and quit in the future. These so-called Chinese herbal medicines have no obvious benefits to the body, but will cause serious liver and kidney damage, which has been verified by modern medicine.
He was very surprised. Aren't Chinese herbal medicines natural and green? How can it cause liver and kidney risk?
Cantonese people are famous foodies in the eyes of people all over the world. There is nothing that Cantonese people dare not eat except airplanes flying in the sky and tanks running on the ground. All kinds of medicated diet nourishing food are delicious on earth, which makes people drool when they think of it.
Besides Cantonese, people in Taiwan Province Province have a special liking for medicated diet and tonic. People in central and southern Taiwan Province Province, in particular, are devoted to and proficient in scientific and dialectical food and drug supplementation under the guidance of various TCM theories. Because of this, Taiwan Province Province has become the "dialysis capital of the world". Guangdong, like Taiwan Province Province, is the top three regions with high incidence of chronic kidney disease in the world.
Many people will panic when faced with the doctor's diagnosis notice. I have no idea that the root cause of all this is blind tonic and eating Chinese medicine by mistake.
Chinese herbal medicine is not as pure natural and pollution-free as advertised by merchants and pharmaceutical companies, and there are no side effects in health care. On the contrary, there are many Chinese patent medicines that we eat every day, and there are quite a few ingredients in them, which have been proved by modern medicine to be very harmful to the human body.
Many years ago, Li Mouling, a citizen of Beijing, went to a hospital in Chaoyangmen because she often got angry. The doctor prescribed Longdan Xiegan Pill for her, and she took it for about half a year. Since then, Li Ling has developed nausea, vomiting, backache and other symptoms, and was diagnosed as uremia by Beijing Hospital. The cause recorded in Li Ling's medical records is "nephropathy caused by aristolochic acid poisoning".
Coincidentally. A patient named Wang Mouhua recalled that his renal failure was due to taking Longdan Xiegan Pills. Because during the three years from 1999 to 2002, she took about 180 packs of Longdan Xiegan Pills.
According to the survey of The Lancet magazine, about 12% people in Taiwan Province province suffer from chronic nephritis. One-third of the 200,000 Taiwan Province residents surveyed have taken Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid.
In addition to the cases of renal failure caused by Longdan Xiegan Pill found in Beijing and many places, there are often similar reports in the world. A group of young women in Belgium suffered kidney damage after taking diet pills. Cases of kidney damage caused by patients eating Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid have been found in Britain and Japan ... There are countless similar cases.
Unfortunately, neither National Medical Products Administration, primary doctors nor the public are aware of the great harm of aristolochic acid.
In China, where the traditional Chinese medicine culture is developed, there are many drugs containing aristolochic acid. According to Pharmacopoeia 2000 and national drug standards, there are seven kinds of medicinal materials containing aristolochic acid, namely Aristolochia manshuriensis, Stephania tetrandra, Aristolochia, Clematis, Aristolochia, Arisaema crenata and Ardisia crenata.
More Chinese patent medicines containing aristolochic acid were approved for marketing. There are more than 100 kinds of Chinese patent medicines containing aristolochic acid in the market, and as many as 4/kloc-0 kinds of Chinese patent medicines containing Aristolochia manshuriensis only.
To make matters worse, many Chinese patent medicines containing aristolochic acid, such as Longdan Xiegan Pills, Qingguo Zhisou Pills, Paishi Granules, Kexieling Capsules, etc., are over-the-counter medicines, which are cheap and widely used. It is often used in pharmacies for clearing away heat, relieving cough and diminishing inflammation, and citizens can easily buy it from major pharmacies. The industry believes that there are not a few consumers who have used drugs containing aristolochic acid without knowing it.
The Department of Nephrology of Beijing China-Japan Friendship Hospital has received 100 cases of similar patients, the most of which are patients who take Longdan Xiegan Pills and cause renal damage. Among more than 20 uremic patients handled by Peng Liren, director of the Department of Nephrology, Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing, more than a dozen cases have been diagnosed as aristolochic acid nephropathy by renal puncture, and most of them have taken Longdan Xiegan Pills.
The substance that is toxic to the kidney is far more than aristolochic acid. The chemical composition of Chinese herbal medicine is extremely complicated. Many chemicals may not directly damage the kidneys of healthy people, but the damage will be aggravated when the renal function is damaged.
PLoS One, an internationally renowned academic journal, published a research report by Zhao Pan et al., a research center for diagnosis and treatment of liver failure in the 302nd Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.

After Xinhua News Agency reported in 2003, mainland authorities banned only three drugs, namely Ji Fang, Aristolochia and Aristolochia manshuriensis, which were considered to contain high content of aristolochic acid.
